About this ASN.
AS116 carries a name-versus-holder gap: its ASName is still "TELCORDIA," but the current registered organization under ARIN is Ericsson Inc. (OrgId ERICSS-5, Plano, TX). The authoritative netblock (192.4.16.0–192.4.237.255, NetName TELCORDIA-NET2) shows Organization "Ericsson Inc." The number's lineage runs Bellcore → Telcordia Technologies (telecom R&D) → Ericsson: Ericsson's acquisition of Telcordia officially closed January 12, 2012, with Telcordia products rebranded as Ericsson on June 4, 2012, and the 128.96/192.4 address space passed to Ericsson with that deal. The ARIN RegDate of 2000-05-04 is a registry-refresh date, not the original assignment. As of June 2026 it is active — IPinfo reports roughly 120,576 IPv4 addresses and classifies it as a business "stub AS," announcing 128.96.0.0/17 and the 192.4.x ranges plus IPv6 2620:a3::/48. For triage the "TELCORDIA" ASName is a legacy artifact — the real holder is Ericsson Inc.; treat the space as corporate enterprise. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
